Hong Kong, China shares have slim gains, shippers strong

Hong Kong shares went into Thursday’s midday break slightly higher as investors took profit on banking counters, which had led gains the past two sessions, and rotated into laggards ahead of key US and China data on Friday.

Property developers climbed after Cheung Kong Holdings maintained its 2013 Hong Kong sales target at HK$30 billion (US$3.9 billion), a level similar to the 2012 target, after peers had reduced their goals.
